WoW: Blizzard's Celestial Cash Cow

*Update* Wowhead article ->
"So I was speaking with Draknorr, who has been doing some math about the release of the Celestial Steed mount pictured to the right.
His friend entered the queue for a mount, and at the time the queue was at almost exactly 100k, and the stock ticked from 91% to 90% as he watched. When it ticked down to 89%, there were 46k in the queue. That's around 54,000 mounts for every 1% of the total stock—or, I would guess, about 5 million total mounts.
So this means that every 1% of the stock, they've sold 50k mounts at $25 a piece. That's $1,250,000. At the time of this writing the queue was at 88%—making that $15,000,000 so far—and that's just in the United States. Holy cow."

I really don't know what to say. Blizzard is brilliant [their 3d modellers probably spent like 1 day to create this celestial horse - basically they gonna make tons of money with almost zero "work"], however I don't understand that how can a person pay $25 for something like this. Incredible.
